On my LG G3 it seems to have adaptive brightness that cant be disabled. When I open an app the screen will kinda of of pop to a lower brightness after a second. I have auto brightness disabled. Ive seen this on other phones but it gave me an option to disable it. Is there any way to disable this using root by editing a build prop file or other file?
This is an extreme example of what im talking about

Is their a way to turn off auto brightness? It is very annoying seeing the brightness level change so rapidly and I can't believe SE haven't picked up on this problem.
How do you guys manage with it?
Search the market for "Disable Auto Brightness Xperia", you'll need root though!

Is it something you use? Do you notice the rapid brightness changing with autobrightness on to?
Thanks
Does anyone else notice the rapid changing of brightness?
Thanks

Because there isn't.
I was just about to say... Cause I'd have it on and I can safely say there's no option for it on STOCK... It's manual control.
Hello,
Whenever I use the default internet browser on my Note 2 (i317M Telus) the screen dims to the lowest setting. It stays like this even though I haven't touched the brightness setting. I can change the brightness setting but when I exit the internet app the brightness changes to what it should be. Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thank you.
inb4 install a different browser
inb3 OP can't inb4
There is a separate brightness toggle in the browser for some reason. Just hit menu then brightness.
For me it uses the same "brightness" setting, but when I change the brightness in browser it changes it for the rest of the phone.
Make sure "power saving mode" isn't enabled. It defaults the browser to extremely dim. You can of course, turn that option off

Hi, guys.
As you'll already know, Xperia Ion Stock ROMs have no auto-brightness toggle on settings, apparently. And even if you use a 3rd party app to fix the brightness at a value, it keeps blinking around that value according to light sensor.
Light sensor has always been told to be such a battery-drainer, so here's my doubt:
Would it be possible to create a mod, app, flashable ZIP or something to disable that auto brightness feature at all?
Thanks in advance.
Lol? Light Sensor isn't battery drainer. You have wrong informations.

Light sensor constantly reads an input, that obviusly uses a substantial amount of battery.
Anyway, is there any toggle solution?
If you want to really disable it, try this -
0. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP (VERY IMP)
1. Use a root file manager and go to /system/etc
2. Open hw_config.sh
3. Search for this line - echo 1 > $dev/lcd-backlight/als/enable
4. Change 1 to 0, then save and reboot
5. Hopefully it should disable als now.
Thanks for the method! But wouldn't that disable brightness at all? I want brightness on, but light sensor-based automatic brightness disabled.
Greetings.

No no, you can adjust brightness in settings. It only disables the ALS sensor(Ambient Light Sensor). I have tested it myself.
I didn't have a brightness adjustment in my notification before. just had a volume slider. (Came like that when I reset the phone)
This morning I changed the build target to TMO so I could get the 4G icon and I'm greeted with the brightness toggle in my notification. How can I disable this? I use lux lite so this is useless. I have seen that it involves a root app to disable but isn't there a setting by LG to disable it? Because I didn't have it before...

I've seen this nice mode (on video reviews, probably all non-verizon models) of being able to adjust the relative auto-brightness levels in the notification bar area. The idea is that you can tweak up or down the brightness, brightness still adjusts automatically, but to a lower (or higher) level based on how you've set it.
Obviously missing now, but why? Anyone else notice this? Wonder if there's a hidden setting somewhere to enable this functionality.
I've noticed that in my pitch black room the auto-brightness only drops to like 25% brightness which is insanely aggravating. I can manually turn it down MUCH lower which is how low it should go by default. Hopefully finding a way to do what you're talking about can fix my issue also.
Ya I noticed auto is way too high in complete darkness. Can only go to manual to get brightness down to a comfortable level. From what I've seen the auto brightness tweaks would probably help in this scenario.

The International phones are the ones that have that auto brightness setting. The only other way that I know of is to use the wanam xposed module
I hope the retail version will get root soon, I'm sooo frustrated right now. Smh!
